I have an old project on a hololens that I want to port to a second Gen hololens. We don't have the original project though so this only exists on this hololens.

    Hello, welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

    It is not supported. The architecture of HoloLens 1 is X86 while the HoloLens 2 is based on ARM64. You need to re-build the project and target to ARM64 to make it run on HoloLens 2.
